Ultrafast Control of Material Optical Properties via the Infrared Resonant Raman Effect
- Authors:
- G. Khalsa, N. A. Benedek and J. Moses, Physical Review X, 11 021067
- Date:
- 2021
- Synopsis:
- We show that resonant optical excitation of IR and Raman phonons gives rise to a Raman-scattering effect that can induce giant shifts to the refractive index and induce new optical constants that are forbidden in the equilibrium crystal structure.
